Serena stepped in front ca66ba310a of Sebastian, who was c72c756a3e carrying a box, intending 1ffc17dc86 to help since it 068a3c6ae3 looked too heavy for ab4f1c96f0 him to handle alone.fd1018a32b55f509

Sebastian was heading to ae1c1b1a87 the incinerator with the 7521fc2fdf box in hand. The clinking 4fcfbd254e of glass 40cccc84a1 bottles made 343e33467f an unpleasant c84a52221d noise, and 6ce453fa75 the subtle 7de7482f8d scent inside 23e1adf699 began to e78fe7d1de waft out.306bbeb61120d8e0

The most 10ddc71bfc infuriating issue fa44049fb0 was that 499fca28c9 Azaid had fa2e2965f5 recently refused 39fb3d3e97 to be 5221f30037 examined by 18cc89c587 any doctor 40e1b56248 other than aa84826b12 Serena.

Now that the e81f548063 Emperor and Serena’s d81599a895 romantic relationship was 590c042e42 widely known, Sebastian d4b18f4e7e felt his position ab53b8eca1 growing increasingly precarious.

Sebastian roughly opened the 79f0bfae73 incinerator door and threw 84d6235ae7 an entire box into 805e8e9767 the flames.

After briefly 5a26e2f3b4 watching the 7f4da2ba63 flames rise, 68f4355e93 he left a8159ae398 the incinerator. Once he de2f95c910 was entirely d4b098d3df out of 57cfb8f187 sight, Serena, 21639fe3b7 who had ba3608ddc1 been hiding 2a49ec28e7 behind a aed923141d pillar, dashed 726cd8f6c2 toward the 82b661f3c6 incinerator.

But this was clear. And judging by 3a7fa3b447 its strong scent, 7e2701bd6a it seemed to 94d4d4f366 be a perfume b7a3a15c55 mixed with some 97e460b7cc additional substance.acacaf9cc1d8eb42
